Hey Dave! Thought you gave up on this stuff it has been so long. Good to hear from ya! Hope all is well. Is that this years baby? Very cool.

Hi Tom,

Yes--- there are either 8 or 9 this year. Last year I had 7 but lost 6 due to some fledgling hawks from a nest next door!! That male still hates me as much as it did 10 yrs ago! I still have a yard / neigborhood full of Blue Spineys ( from Gus) and Chi-wa-wan spotted whiptails (from Ian Murray). What critters are you messing with now? Same for all you other chuckers too!

Basically still messin only with the chucks. Got rid of all the island monster chucks and only keep the common ones. Have a couple uromastyx just for fun. Got out of them the chucks a few years back and messed with some ctenos but couldn't get out of them fast enough-those things are a pain in the arse! So the last couple years been building my chuck clan up again and am finally pretty much where I want to be. Hatched out about 30-35 babies this year about only half of what I should. But now that everything is settled I should finally be able to give them a good hibernation and produce a bunch next year. Still have all those nice desert plants in the pen? Man some pics of that pen would sure be cool.

Thanks for that link!

Hi David,
I was wondering what you've been up to. I found some site a while back where you were focusing on your music and tried to send you an e-mail from that site. I thought you must have drank yourself to death after your mamma got ranned over by a danged old train. Sorry to hear about that, but I'm sure it was better than prison.

At any rate, glad to see you are still taking care of yourself. Those chucks look like their feelin' the drought too. I have no lizards now...my daughter has three leopard geckos and I have 3 red milksnakes and 3 New Mexico Milk snakes (from a mutual friend). I travel a decent amount now so I can't hardly focus on those critters than need to eat...at least not yet.

Great to see you are here.
